John David Hawkins received an M.A. at Oxford University in 1965. He began his career at the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London as a research fellow in 1964 and has been Professor of Ancient Anatolian Languages since 1993. At the beginning of the 20th century next to nothing was known about the eight or so different languages of the Hittite archives. Now we can read and understand most of the texts. The history of Anatolia, 1000-700 B.C., used to be known only from the point of view of the Assyrians (the future conquerors). Now that the local sources have been opened up in all their richness, everything is changed. These are discoveries that match in brilliance the most far-reaching scientific accomplishments in scholarly history, and in large measure they are due to David Hawkins and to his work of thirty years. J. D. Hawkins in the author of (with S. Dalley and C.B.F. Walker) Old Babylonian Tablets from Tell al-Rimah (1976); The Hieroglyphic Inscription of the Sacred Pool Complex at Bogazköy-Hattusa (1995); Corpus of Hieroglyphic Luwian Inscriptions (4 volumes, 1998). He was the editor of IRAQ (Journal of the British School of Archaeology in Iraq) from 1976-1995. J. D. Hawkins served as honorary secretary for the British School of Archaeology in Iraq from 1976-85. He is a member of the British Academy and was elected a foreign member of the American Philosophical Society in 1998. | |

Through his work in papyrology, Albert Henrichs made himself one of the most original and versatile scholars in Classics. His most signal and seminal contributions were in the field of religious thought, ranging from an edition of magical texts to new interpretations of religious tenets of leading Sophists, from a commentary on the book of Job to a text of Mani. His research led to innumerable insights into Greek tragedy and comedy, into Homer and into Greek history (where his work on the Theramenes papyrus deserves special mention). Dr. Henrichs has written on mythography and on rhetoric; in short, there is hardly a field of Greek (and related) studies that has not been enriched by the profound questions he asked and the novel answers at which he had arrived. A native of Cologne, Germany, Dr. Henrichs was Eliot Professor of Greek at Harvard University from 1984 to 2017. He was a member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences (1985); the American Philological Association; l'Association Internationale de papyrologues; and the Egypt Exploration Society. He was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1998. Dr. Henrichs died April16, 2017, at age 74 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. | |

Robert L. Herbert was a world-renowned Impressionism scholar and Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Humanities Emeritus at Mount Holyoke College. Perhaps the leading American scholar of French painting of the late 19th century, Dr. Herbert possesses the unique ability to analyze individual paintings, a flair for lucid, fluid prose, and a mastery of the social and economic milieu of the period. A prolific author, he has published major works on individual artists including Jean-François Millet and Georges Seurat. Dr. Herbert received his Ph.D. in 1957 from Yale University, where he later served as assistant professor (1960-63), associate professor (1963-66), professor (1966-74) and Robert Lehman Professor of History of Art (1974-90) before joining the faculty at Mount Holyoke as Professor of Art History. A gifted teacher, Dr. Herbert has trained two generations of excellent scholars in his field, and he is a recipient of the College Art Association's Distinguished Teaching of Art History Award. A member of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, he is also an Officer dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres of the French government. He died on December 17, 2020. | |
